Goldberg, Sullivan & McCrerey’s expertise in assessing their clients’ criminal justice needs are second to none. The GSM feasibility study helps determine the correct balance between revenues and needs in a criminal justice jurisdiction.

Every anticipated cost is considered, from construction all the way through ongoing operating expenses. This helps ensure that your building will meet both the functional and financial needs of your jurisdiction.

Throughout the planning phase, GSM helps clients communicate effectively with the investment bankers and underwriters involved in developing the financial parameters and ratios of the project. The process is important as it provides a platform from which to obtain funding.

Then, to ensure that the form AND the function of the building work seamlessly together, GSM employs a security matrix. This results in a functional plan to meet the needs of as many as nine different populations, for instance, male vs. female, violent vs. non-violent or other special needs such as detoxification or juvenile containment.

With unique housing needs met, GSM planning moves on to other interior spaces -- an integral part of a functional jail. Design of these spaces incorporates the greatest degree of flexibility allowed within the parameters established by the security matrix.
